back from a 3 1/2 year break. How does the api key work now? Eve mon seems to be broken too. Is this the case? Cheers.

Use a full access key with EVEmon (and Aura, EFT, etc.), just don't give it to anybody though (don't use with websites either).

Click below. Give it a name like "Full Access", check "No Expiry" and click "Submit" and you are done.

When giving keys away, or using them on a website, you might want to restrict the access to a single character on your account, and of course not expose private info like eve-mails or your transaction history, etc.

You can always go back and edit an API key, or delete it. You can also see what IP address used it and when.


People / websites/ programs that want API access will usually tell you what access they need, for example EVEBoard :

EVEBoard wrote:
Your new API key needs the following access;

Private Information:
AccountStatus, CharacterInfo, SkillQueue, SkillInTraining, CharacterSheet

Public Information:
CharacterInfo, Standings, Medals

You can also use this link for the predefined api key (with proper access masks)
https://support.eveonline.com/api/key/createpredefined/59645960

I made a seperate API key for EVEBoard that only allows limited access to Tau Cabalander (see quote above) and no other characters on my account. I also have a full access key for EVEmon and EFT that can access any character and info.

You can make several API keys. If there is a limit, it is a reasonably large number.

Can someone else actually try to create a new API Key. My other accounts can access already made API Keys in Eve Mon but I have not been able to actually make any new ones. When I click submit, I am taken right back to the same screen and no API key is listed.

Just made a new API for one of my accounts. It's working.

Though I must admit, the new website is "different".

I figured it out reading another post. Predefined API is broken.

Er at what point in your previous posts did you say you we're using the predefined mask for creating the new key?

Reply number one would have gotten you here if you said that you err using the predefined masks.
